Plot: When an oracle prophesizes that a child will become Prince of Egypt, a time of danger approaches the kingdom. The Egyptian Pharaoh orders the massacre of all newborn males. But one child, Moses-the son of a Hebrew slave-escapes certain death when he is set adrift on the Nile. As years pass, he is raised in a royal Egyptian household and, with no memory of his family, rises to the stature of prince. Upon discovery of his true heritage, and inspired by a fiery message from God, Moses embarks upon a noble and desperate fight to reclaim his destiny as the leader and liberator of the Hebrew people.

Quotes:

Moses: Because a man is born in slavery, it doesn't mean that he is a slave!

Moses: This is my flock, I can not abbandon it.::Zipporah: We'll stay with you.

Ramses: I am Pharaoh.::Moses: I am Moses.::Ramses: I'm willing to bargain.::Moses: I am not.

Menerith: My son was taken, too.::Moses: I grieve with you.::Menerith: You... grieve? Wasn't this your doing?::Moses: It was God's.::Menerith: You willed it. Ramses will give you your freedom now. Your God won. I think your God is a cruel one.::Aaron: Years ago, Pharaoh sent his soldiers to kill our children.::Menerith: I wasn't among them! My son wasn't there! Why should we be punished?::Moses: I do what God tells me.

Zipporah: Why is God punishing you? He's taken your brother Menerith, made you turn your back on Jethro who's like a father to you, turn your back on me, on your sons. How much more will He take from you? Is what you're seeking worth what it's costing you?

Rani: What if he is the one who is destined to bring down the Pharoah? If power is meant to change hands, if this child, if he is the future, if he is the chosen one, then he will bring wealth and power to those he thinks of as his family. You saved his life, he must know that, he must know what he owes you and me.

Egyptian Priest: If the idea of God had any meaning, there could only be one all-powerful God. But if men started to question what they had been told to believe since the world began, what else might they begin to question? One God. A ridiculous idea. Far better that there be as many Gods as there are men, if only to keep us priests employed.
